A Song for You

Dear Sweet Baby,

Long before you were forming in my belly, a song came out by one of your mom and dad's favorite groups - Shane and Shane. The first time I heard the song, I wept. I wept because of the truth the the song holds and I wept because I longed to one day be able to share this with you. Although the song is written for a girl, we do not know if you are a girl or a boy yet, but the message stays the same. Our desire and our prayer for you daily is that you would come to know Christ as your Savior and that you would grow in a personal relationship with him. So for now, here's the lyrics for The One You Need by Shane and Shane:


Hey hey sweet daughter

I am so proud to be your father
Each day is like a gift from God

Hey hey sweet daughter
There's no music like your laughter
And your smile is like a rising sun

You know I loved you from the start
So come in close
Take my hand for daddy shares his heart

I wish that I could be your everything
Be the one to give you all the things you need
Sometimes I'm gonna let you down
But there's someone if you just believe
Be your hero like He's always been for me
Darling, Jesus is the one you need

No matter what you walk through
He will always love you just the way you are
For there's nothing in this world
That I'd walk for my baby girl
That she'll be happy ever after

The story of your life is still untold
I pray the King of all the Universe
Would make your heart His own

I wish that I could be your everything
Be the one to give you all the things you need
Sometimes I'm gonna let you down
But there's someone if you just believe
Be your hero like He's always been for me
Darling, Jesus is the one

Who will never leave
He's been there all along
All ready You can find to love

I wish that I could be your everything
Be the one to give you all the things you need
Sometimes I'm gonna let you down
But there's someone if you just believe
Be your hero like He's always been for me
Darling, Jesus is the one you need

Sweet Baby, we pray that the King of all the Universe would make your heart His own - that's all that matters.

We love you enough to tell you we're not it -
